Maine Vacation

We loved our stay at this lovely home! Short walk to the ocean. We got to enjoy many beautiful sunrises. The dogs enjoyed playing in the yard. Was the perfect location, not far from Acadia, but far enough away from all the traffic and tourists!

A charming family home in Hancock Point

We had a very nice stay for 5 nights, and it was perfect for a family of 5. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the house was very spacious. The house has a lot of character and history to it, and we felt so welcomed. The neighborhood is quiet and perfect for families. The drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor took about 30-40 minutes, and about 30 minutes to Schoodic Peninsula. George was very responsive to a few inquiries, and we would stay here again.

This was a nice quiet place to stay during our trip. It provided us good access to both parts of Acadia and some hidden gems we hadn’t previously know about, like Tidal Falls Preserve. The house was very spacious, clean, and well-appointed. We had a lovely stay!

Fantastic Stay

We absolutely loved our time at this amazing home! They have everything you could possibly need and we were extremely comfortable. I loved the views and the all of the windows that made for such a bright and cheerful environment, even when it was a bit dreary outside! We are a family of 6 and had plenty of space! The house location was perfect for exploring Acadia, Bar Harbor and we even drove up to Lubec! This was our first time visiting Maine and I can’t wait to return!

Beautiful property, great location

The home was beautiful and within walking distance to the Bay. There are several supermarkets including a Walmart nearby. Even though most places were closed for the season, we were able to find most shops open in the Bar Harbor area. The home is located on Hancock Point (beautiful scenery). We cannot wait to go back.

Beautiful, comfortable home with great kitchen!

After a small check-in hiccup, we had an amazing stay! The home is beautiful and homey, the location is wonderful, and we can't recommend it enough. Close enough to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor that we drove there every day. Also found the local treasure, Gull Rock Pottery, close by, and the kids and my mom enjoyed finding all sorts of amazing shells, granite, and seaglass as we walked the beach close to the house. Thank you for a wonderful vacation, Mr. Mumford!

Wonder week!

We had a wonderful week staying in this lovely home. The proximity to Ellsworth and Bar Harbor was perfect. We were three couples and two dogs and we had plenty of space and took some lovely walks. We especially liked the layout with each couple having a bedroom and bathroom to themselves. And our dogs loved being able to go out on the large deck and watch the red squirrel come and go. The kitchen had everything we need to make some fabulous meals and we spent a lot of time in the breakfast nook drinking coffee, wine and talking.

Pivot from Wildfires

My family and I planned a trip for 5 months that we had to cancel last minute due to the wildfires! The Hancock property was the perfect place with enough space for all of us! We each got a room and bathroom! It was accessible for my Aunt with a slight disability and it was perfect for my service dog. Thank you so much for accommodating us last minute! What a gorgeous house and property!

Disappointed with this property and host

Hancock point is a beautiful location and overall we had a nice vacation; however, a problem with the hot water and the host's inability to address to our satisfaction resulted in our leaving the property two days early. We were misled prior to our trip into thinking there was no problem, despite the prior guest's complaint, and that even if there was a problem it was being addressed. It turns out there was a problem and five days into our stay it had not been addressed. When notifying the host we couldn't stay any longer, they still denied there was an issue, but stated if there were an issue, hot water is considered a minor issue by VRBO, so it's a non-issue. We will definitely return to the Acadia National Park area, just not at a property managed by this host, or any by VRBO.

Super location!

We had a marvelous time at this VRBO! We had everything we needed and more. Condiments galore, first aid kit, games and more. Beach was within walking distance and we went numerous times everyday. My daughter went home with lots of sea glass. Our dogs initially were afraid of the beach but after a week they were in up to their neck loving the waves. Thanks for allowing dogs. This was our first vacation with them. It was perfect. Hancock Point is a wonderful location and away from the bustle of Bar Harbor. Mainly Meat restaurant and The Ice cream shop next door were a wonderful find. They even allowed the dogs in and gave them each a bowl of water at a dog friendly table. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Not as Expected

Several issues with our stay. Property Manager never pick-up/returned calls. Dead bugs in many light fixtures, no outside furniture available, tv did not work. No shades on bedroom windows which made sleeping in the morning challenging. No coffee provided. Asked to strip beds and run a load of wash before leaving.
